There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

You do understand, that there is no male lion alive who can defend his territory against 2 invading adult males?? It never happened.
So, he is a coward because he doesn’t want to die? How exactly he would beat 2 adult males in a fight?
Skorro Jr. defended his pride and territory against 2 coalitions of 2 males for almost half a year, this is actually great achievment which not many lone males would be capable to do.
So lets not "bash" Skorro Jr., he did everything he could.
Yes, against two invading males, its not easy for a solitary male. We have seen almost exactly the same thing with Mo a few moths ago. He roared for a short while against the two young lions and then did a similar run leaving his tiny cub and the female. But people had so much love for this poor chap, I haven’t seen a single negative comment about him. Prior to that, he did so many runs against Mjejane coalition, I lost count. Everyone was like, “ Run Mo, Run.. Please do. Survive, we love you”. I haven’t seen that kind of love on internet for a lion. Skorro Jr. must be a frustration case as Tumbela take over turned out to be a complete disaster for the pride. It’s unfortunate his brothers didn’t last.
Don’t want to take focus too much away from Skorro Jr here but have questions on Imbali male.. Agreed, a 2 lion coalition didn’t invade his territory and fight him yet but seems he roared towards the 2 Avocas. Every day he is roaring like crazy without fear and seems that alone is keeping invasions away from his territory for now. Isn’t that defending against larger coalitions?
Yes, if a two lion coalition locks up on him and tracks him down, it might be over. But how is he managing from that not happening?
What is he doing correctly that Skorro Jr didn’t do in the final days of his territorial hold? Skorro Jr seems to be in just as good condition (or almost) as Imbali male is. Is it because of pure luck of not having strong males like PC males next to his territory that this Imbali chap is managing to hold his territory? Or is it because of his fearlessness?
